Algeria vs. Austria Highlights: Austria, Algeria Survive Wild Finish
Updated: Jun 28, 2026 - 12:24 AM ET
It was a wild ending in Kansas City, as Algeria and Austria played out a 3-3 thriller and both moved on to the knockout stage.
Riyad Mahrez looked like he had won it for Algeria in the 93rd minute, but Saša Kalajdžić answered in the 96th minute to save Austria’s World Cup.
Austria led twice through Marko Arnautovic and Marcel Sabitzer, but Algeria kept responding through Rafik Belghali and Mahrez. The late equalizer was a heartbreak for Iran, which needed one of these teams to win, but instead both Algeria and Austria advanced after an all-time finish.
Algeria will take on Switzerland on Thursday, July 2, while Austria will face Spain that same day.
